teacher in the One Life. Whether DK exists or not is of little significance;
the guidance Catherine receives when in meditative states has been found to be
illuminating and valuable to her many clients all over the world. The following
is an interaction between Catherine (CBW), Skip Wolff (ESW), and the Dwahl
Khul teacher energy (DK).]
CBW:
We ask simply to move into a deeper place--a place of comfort, safety,
and security. It is where we ask for information and energy to come
from the highest realms of light. We ask that everything in this
session be of service to all who will come across it, calling in the
teacher, Dwahl Khul, and taking just take a moment of silence as we
bring that energy into the session and begin.
DK:
Good day, Dear Ones. We are here to serve and aid you. We look
energetically into the topic of the evolution of humanity and how
consciousness as the source
of evolution contributes to a feeling of hope, wellbeing and deeper
knowing that life--the One Life--is unfolding into ever greater
magnificence.
One has to understand consciousness itself as a
paradox. Whenever consciousness expands--whenever there is more that
consciousness must contain or hold--the usual sense of duality present
in one's experience has to be paradoxically incorporated into Oneness.
If you are going to have an expansion in your consciousness, you must
be able to contain within your consciousness oftentimes contradictory
information--things that seem illogical--things that do not fit in the
usual dualistic structure and rational way of understanding. This is
true especially if you are trying to understand the course of your life
or the nature of your existence through the intelligence of your mental body.
At
the foundation of consciousness exists the paradox of life being
simultaneously the Creator and the Creation. Every human is constantly
creating his or her life at the same time as experiencing him or
herself as the creation of life (the result of seemingly
external forces). To understand human evolution and to see
consciousness as the source of evolution, one must see oneself as
participating in evolution both as Creator and Creation of evolutionary
forces. It is important to recognize that a lot of imbalances in
society--from the individual level up--come from difficulty in
containing the seemingly contradictory information of being
simultaneously Creator and Creation.
From our perspective people
tend to get hung up on being the Creator--often a very self-centered
attitude full of desire that is ultimately unsustainable,
unfulfillable. People get stuck on being the Creator and, in so doing,
blame themselves for everything they create instead of rejoicing in
their Creation. In parallel fashion people can get hung up on being the
Creation--being a victim to the "big bad world out there" and to
everything that seems to have more power and ability than they have.
Such imbalances occur primarily as a result of feeling the contracting
energy of fear.
Fear underlies any sense of crisis accompanying
a process of human evolution that is natural--full, complete, yet
underway. Fear is the energy that enables an individual to leap to a
higher level of consciousness when used properly and
appropriately; but it is also the energy that can promote imbalance. At
this point in human evolution, what has been understood as desire has
been infused with fear--the fear of getting enough--the fear of not
getting enough--the fear of not being fulfilled--an addictive,
desperate sense of want which is never really identified, but exists
underneath the surface causing an individual to struggle and experience
tremendous anger and difficulty with self and life.
It is this
element of desire, present in both human individuals and systems
(including governments, corporations, and all sorts of associations),
that ultimately fuels that which facilitates the end of the existing
system. If you look at any system--whether the living system of the
human individual, the living system of a group of individuals, or Earth
itself as a living system--at the end of its old structure, in the
course of structural breakdown and the birth of a new system,
there is an element of fear which plays out as desire infused with
anger. It is this energy that ultimately breaks things apart--takes
people in different directions--creates a certain kind of chaos and
ultimately brings about a crisis that must be addressed. The crisis
must be viewed as the old structure coming apart in order for it to be
recreated--put together in a new way--and experienced as the opportunity for a new Creation. Here we see the Creation-Creator paradox in action.
Now,
from
our perspective change can occur seemingly from the outside due to
environmental conditions, or change can occur from the inside due
to internal dynamics. This two-way street once again illustrates the
creational paradox that must be integrated into an understanding of the
way consciousness expands so that we can see consciousness expansion as
the nature of evolution. Evolution unfolds as a result of consciousness
expansion, which requires the paradox of seemingly contradictory
information that is ultimately integrated. Change occurs simultaneously
on the inside and the outside. People change because something occurs
inside of them which insists on change. They also change because
something seems to occur outside of them that forces them to change.
Real
change as part of consciousness expansion, and therefore evolution,
happens when "inside" and "outside" forces collaborate in what might
seem irrational and chaotic ways that ultimately reveal themselves as a
profoundly structured, orchestrated and magnificent process. All
metacellular organisms go through this process of experiencing
themselves as both Creator and Creation.
Hope is recognizing
that all comes from One--that all is One Life--and that the nature of
human existence is to evolve through Consciousness Expansion into an
understanding that brings deep and lasting recognition of our essential
Oneness. We are talking about the realization that as things become
infinitely more expanded, they also become infinitely more unified. It
is in the paradoxical appreciation for expansion and contraction that
one rides this wave of evolution in a way which--through gratitude and
appreciation--finally recalls that there is really nothing other than
hope.
We are talking about a deep recognition and realization
that wherever humans are going--wherever the species is
moving--evolution is accomplished through individual intention as well
as the intention of all life, the intention of the One Life. We are
talking about recongizing that all is well even as we feel that some
things could improve. We are talking about accepting that fear exists,
that fear infuses desire and thereby fuels action. That desire has
become addictive and greed-based is a harbinger of a compelling
breakthrough which will allow an even deeper and more profound
creativity to emerge--the kind of creativity where the individual has a
sense of being absolutely autonomous and in charge of creating and
recreating, while at the same time recognizing him or herself as part
of the One Life creating and recreating itself.
When we look
at this evolutionary leap that is underway in the human species, we
would say it is significant. It is profound. It is the movement from
belief in oneself as separate, alone and identified more profoundly by
individual differences, to a much broader re-identification of self as
part of a whole. This movement has to do with a certain kind of
interaction which creates congruence among people. It has to do with
all people becoming themselves, doing what they love to do, living
their lives fully in gratitude, peace and love--and starting to see the
resonance gained when one person is living this way and the
person next door is also. This situation creates a local structural
congruence which then impacts all larger structures. Ultimately, the
larger structures become so full of congruence they become sustainable.
Sustainability
cannot occur without a certain degree of congruence--without
recognition that all which exists within its structure is at once
unique and universal. Such systemic congruence enables all systems
present to reinforce and support each other. This is a biological model
whereby each individual cell retains its particular nature while
becoming part of a larger system willingly, peacefully, and lovingly.
There are many ways in which the whole process of one's life can be
recognized as a balancing act between the sense of being unique,
individual and separate, and the sense of being part of something
larger and more complex.
Being
comfortable in this paradox means
coming to a place of understanding where you can be comfortable with
who you are. Many people believe that the outside is greater or that
the inside is more profound. The truth is, however, that life is a
constantly shifting experience whereby one moves from "outside" to
"inside," and vice versa, in order to expand the boundaries that were
initially created for comfort but have become too restrictive. As one
becomes oneself, one starts to recognize that boundaries are amorphous.
There is no real definition of self or feeling of who one is that will
ever fit perfectly all the time. The ongoing search for points
of reference through which to define oneself is, of course, the nature
of consciousness exanding--and the source of evolution itself.
It
is up to humans, in their expanding consciousness, to appreciate what
is now while anticipating what is next with an open-minded and -hearted
delight in the change that is underway. Whatever appears as crisis--as
difficulty, restriction, constriction, fear, anger, greed, etc.--as
anything that is not in service to greater peace and love on the
planet, is to be understood as part of the natural evolution toward a
global state of cooperation and peace. The understanding that in times
of crisis there is greater struggle must be accompanied by the
realization that directly underneath the surface is the development of
a new cooperation. An experience of what is next is constantly held
within what is now--and within this paradox evolution moves forward. It
is this movement that constitutes the "isness" of evolution.
We
are simply here to encourage everyone to recognize that within every
struggle--whether personal, governmental, economic, or
otherwise--exists that seed of "thrival," which is connectedness and
wholeness within a holographic universal perspective that is real,
true, and alive. It can be useful to let go of the kinds of projections
into the future that occur when one is afraid--when one is in the
midst of one's current struggle--and instead find that seed of
consciousness that is the point from which expansion occurs that holds
potential for thrival. Simply knowing it exists--remembering to touch
it from time to time--can move consciousness forward and thus
contribute to evolution.
While this has been a very esoteric
discussion, we can also be very practical and clear. We would like to
do that especially through questions which we will answer.
ESW:
What came to mind was a musical analogy within which maybe we can talk
about all the paradoxes and the whole Creator-Creation dynamic and the
different levels of the holon. If we look at each of us as the player
of an instrument--each of us is a member of an orchestra and we play
one instrument--there is something about being both Creator and
Creation of the music where we start out with Johnny One Note, and then
move into congruence with another, then with another, and another,
until we are approaching the Music of the Spheres. See if the analogy
works in terms of us as individuals and all the seeming dissonance we
are creating at the moment, and then look at all the different levels
of holons from individual to small cells or groups to countries or
governments to the whole of humanity. Does it make sense to talk this
way?
DK: It is true, looking at an orchestra as an analogy,
that each individual note--each individual player--each individual
instrument--as well as the groups of instruments--the groups of
notes--ultimately creates a kind of harmony containing within it
moments and experiences of dissonance. There is not a singularity but a
complexity that is far more interesting and therefore creative. More
material for creativity exists in complexity and chaos than in
singularity, yet singularity can hold the potential for all
creativity--all Creation. Each individual is a conglomerate of systems
of other "individuals"--cells, particles, atoms, etc. It is as if each
individual is a universe unto him or herself while at the same time
being part of the multiverse of All That Is. It is in the realm of
consciousness that one can "know" this multiverse, which cannot
necessarily be described or expressed rationally. Does that make
sense?
ESW: Yes. In my own case, metaphorically speaking, I think
I am often a flute player who is trying to play a bassoon or the drums.
I am often not playing my own instrument. I am not doing what I love to
do and that is not creating the kind of congruence and the whole
creative experience I want. When you were first talking about
congruence, what came to mind was an artists' community in which all of
that creative energy comes together and creates a synergy so everyone
is energized by it and creates at higher and higher levels. I was
thinking that that also has to be part of this whole analogy or
metaphor throughout every level of every system.
DK: We
would agree. We would also comment on the understanding that if you are
not doing what you want to be doing--if you think you are playing a
bassoon when you really are a flute player--all you have to change is
your perception. It is not even that you have to get a
flute tomorrow. It is that through a certain kind of appreciation of
the bassoon--appreciation of yourself and your contribution and the
glory of who you are as whatever kind of bassoon player you are--you
can have the experience of sheer delight in life. Do you understand?
ESW:
Yes.
There is a part of all of us that really
longs to belong--to be part of something greater than ourselves--to
know that we are truly contributing--that we are making a difference.
Often we have a lot of pictures or ideals of how that should be
done or what it looks like that don't fit for who each of us is as
an individual, so we do anything except be who we are really designed
to be in an attempt to be part of something greater than us.
One of the things I see emerging on the underbelly or in an
undercurrent of all the seeming chaos is a huge movement toward
giving and contributing. It is in giving
that people are experiencing meaning, contribution, and a
sense of making a difference. I think Clinton's book, Giving,
is a
reflection of that. When we look at all the natural disasters and
people's responses, whether it was individuals going to New Orleans or
contributing to tsunami victims,
people are recognizing the deeper satisfaction in giving than in
getting and
spending. It seems that each of us needs to rediscover who we are in
terms of being a giver--a contributor--how
each of us can best be of service in a way that is natural but that we
often discount because it is natural and seems too easy in this
culture of "no pain, no gain."
DK:
What we would say to that is that people often want to make a
contribution and have--as you state--these ideas and pictures of what
their contribution should look like, yet the contribution that is
simple, natural and motivated by a pure sense of being part of the One
Life is usually the best
contribution. Natural
disasters and difficulties occurring all over the planet are
actually giving people permission to be simple and easy with their
contribution rather than clinging to erroneous pictures and idealized
versions of what they should be doing and how they should be
contributing. This is a great gift. It is a wonderful recognition of the
opportunity which comes out of crisis. Do you follow?
ESW: Yes.
I think the piece of it which may not get followed up on as well as it
could be is that when we have
that experience of pure giving and the joy it brings, we come
back out into a world of shoulds. In the biological model what is
no longer needed melts away. It transforms. It becomes something else
just as the caterpillar melts into becoming a butterfly. I think we
need some ability to know how, but also the intention to let go of
anything that is keeping us from living in that pure place of giving
which does bring such joy. It is acculturation to shoulds
which needs to be released. It does not serve anymore.
DK: We agree that the culture of shoulds is really a culture in
which the individual has given up his or her own inner authority--given up
their sense of themselves as a unique and whole person whose basic
motivation is to love and be loved in favor of some kind of external authoritative
recipe for success. Those recipes simply don't work any longer. They
served a purpose, but they are no longer necessary or even appropriate
for this particular stage of human evolution and consciousness.
ESW:
It seems that the shoulds are aligned with
the energy of force--not the natural expression of self, but
forcing oneself to be something one isn't. One of the examples that
[biologist Elisabet] Sahtouris gives in the biological model is of
genetically modified food. The whole response of the genome to it is
rejection. The basic conclusion that I took from that is that force
does not work.
DK: Exactly. There is a natural, easy and
peaceful way to realize that one simply is as one is and does not have
to become something else.
ESW: We were
talking before about the motivation to love and be loved. I think one's
idea of one's own lovability is what underlies and drives this need to
be different. Many people did not feel loved as children and are
constantly trying to remake themselves into somebody lovable without
realizing that the natural expression of who they are is the
most lovable one. I think this is a huge issue for many people and I'd
like for you to talk about how can we trust that we are lovable when we
are being our most natural selves.
DK: It comes back to desire and fear. When desire is pure,
it is simply fuel for Creation. If you desire to be lovable and it is a
pure desire, you have the fuel--the energy--to act in lovable ways. It
is natural and easy. If you are afraid that you are not lovable--if you
are angry because your parents never loved you--if you infuse a natural
and pure desire to be lovable with difficult energies, you move out of
the natural experiential state of acting from pure desire into a focus
and attention on results--on what you get--on all sorts of things
outside of natural experience--in other words, outside of the
evolutionary construct which is easy. Such behavior will usually result
in rejection because there is no longer a relaxation into the
experience, but more of a fear-based struggle to get something. It is
important for people to understand this because we see many
people who are sure that their intention to achieve something spiritual
is necessary and important, yet it is loaded with too much fear and
anger to ever get anywhere. Do you follow?
ESW:
Partly. What came up for me when you started talking was the issue of
whether we trust that we are basically good or believe that we are evil
or sinners. It changes everything--that belief. Right now we have a
rampant belief in many parts of the world that we are not good.
DK: And we have a tremendous belief that we are good and everyone else is bad simultaneously.
ESW: Yes. Absolutely.
DK:
A spiritual ambition or desire to achieve or be something other than
what is can take one out of natural expression. Then one's
experience becomes filled with rejection. What is needed is the
realization that lovability is. It just is. Love is life. Life is love.
Love is the core of consciousness. It is never something that is going
to be attained, bound, held, or contained. It is always something that
is simply in existence. If one can get to a place of recognizing the
mystery of things like love, consciousness and evolution--if one can
embrace the mysteriousness of it all--one will have greater comfort
than by trying to make life a series of tangible, results-oriented
steps. Does that make sense?
ESW: Yes. At the beginning you
spoke of the paradoxes of containing duality and how love is the
energy that allows us to do that. How do we move to a place of love in
a very real and practical way when we are faced with people who would
like to do us in?
DK: You must love such individuals from a
compassionate recognition of their humanity--from a realization that
they are someone's sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters--from a
realization that in the whole of the Earth's living system--in the One
Life--such individuals are expressing something that contributes to the
whole. While you may judge the contribution to be negative or
difficult, it is still a particular contribution that is present in the
One Life of everything that exists. In the One Life--in all of
existence--there are individuals whose actions are harmful, whose pain
is great. While you don't have to condone their actions or attempt to
alleviate their pain (there are no requirements for you to interact
with them in any particular manner), the opportunity exists for you to
simply recognize that there is a human presence there and as part of
the One Life, there is some kind of resonance between you. Do you
understand?
ESW: Yes. If we talk about the Law of Attraction,
then we have a choice as to what we focus on. Am I correct that if we
pull attention away from what we would describe as negative or harmful
things, they will of their own accord eventually fall away? And if we
at the same time invest our attention and energy in the Creation of the
new, then we are going to begin to attract more and more resonance to
the Creation of the new to the point where that becomes the dominant
force in our world?
DK: Yes. Your opportunity as a human being
is to have dominion over your thoughts, intentions, and perceptions.
There is a greater you who can shift--who can move--who can always seek
what seems to be the most loving and supportive understanding of any
situation. It is in gaining a certain kind of dominion over your
thoughts that one creates happiness. And yes--in the midst of sheer
ecstatic joyfulness, everything other than that falls away.
ESW:
Which brings us back to playing our own part in the orchestra and
participating in whatever music is being played or creating new music.
DK: Absolutely. Correct. Other questions?
ESW: Not at the moment.
DK:
Then we will simply suggest that for this upcoming year of 2008,
holding the intention of seeing the new, which is being created by you
even as you are being created by it, is really the opportunity which is
going to bring the greatest joy to all. The year 2008 is an important
turning point in human evolution. It is a year when all who have
dominion over their thoughts, perceptions, actions, emotions, etc.,
will be part of the Creation of the new. Being part of the Creation of
the new is full of tremendous love, peace, and absolute delight. We
suggest that you explore the new as a focus in your life this year and watch
how things unfold. Experiment by loving it all. We now
bring our time together to a close. From the head, the hand and the
heart, so be it. And so it is.
